Naturally, Quinton couldn�t refuse after Renee mentioned Adie and Abby.

"Well� just do whatever you want then,� he said awkwardly. Renee�s eyes lit up, and she asked excitedly,

�Quinton, do you mean it?"

�Of course. I just don�t want you, Abie, and Addy to leave. I love the kids very much, and I don�t want them to be afraid of me, so� I�ll give in, even if it hurts my pride.�

Although he sounded pitiful, his face was full of happiness. To him, the children represented hope and a new beginning. He considered Adie and Abby his descendants, so he was willing to sacrifice anything for them; a minor face recovery surgery was nothing.

�Great! Don�t worry, Quinton, I know you�ll lead an exciting new life after the surgery,� Renee said as she quickly took the business card out and called the doctor.

�We�d better not waste time. I�ll set the surgery for tomorrow to make sure nothing goes wrong. What do you think?�

�Whatever.� Quinton waved his hand dismissively. He didn�t bother protesting now. He would do anything as long as Renee and the two children were happy.

Renee successfully set the surgery for ten o�clock the next morning, and both she and Leia accompanied Quinton to the clinic. When Haze learned about it, he shamelessly insisted on tagging along. �It�s just a small surgery, so I don�t know why you all insisted on coming along. I�m fine on my own.�

Quinton had changed into a surgical gown, and looked much more amiable than he usually did. Anyone looking at him wouldn�t guess that he was the infamous Night Demon. The doctor who was performing the surgery wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and his demeanour was gentle as he came forward to explain the surgery. �This surgery isn�t a major one, but the patient may suffer fatal complications or be left in a coma if they�re not used to the anesthetic. For this reason, I need you to sign a consent form. Is that okay?�

After his explanation, a nurse handed the consent form to them, which was usually signed by a family member.

When Renee read the terms and conditions, she became scared. She turned to Leia and asked anxiously, �So many things could go wrong. What do we do if these things happen?� Leia sighed, knowing Renee was feeling conflicted.

�It is pretty scary, but we won�t know unless we try. If we don�t do this, Quinton�s face may never recover.�

�There�s no need to worry so much. This doctor worked on so many celebrities with no issues, so I�m sure Quinton will be fine too." Haze glanced at Quinton and said casually, �It�s just a small surgery to heal his scar. Those celebrities did osteotomy and rhinoplasty, and everything went well.�

�You don�t have to worry because he�s not your brother,� Renee mumbled unhappily as she clenched her fists, unable to relax. Haze smiled at Renee and said, �I disagree. I already told you that I want to win your heart, didn�t I? You�ll be my wife sooner or later, so I consider Quinton my brother. I am worried that something may happen to him, but� there�s no reward without risk.�

�But�" Renee didn�t know what to say to that.

Quinton didn�t want to make things difficult for Renee, so he snatched the consent form from her and signed it swiftly. �I�ll bear the risk. Hurry up and do the surgery, I�ve got things to do after this.�

�Okay, please come to the surgery room with us.� The doctor nodded and led Quinton to the surgery room, while Renee, Leia, and Haze waited in the corridor.

�Lei, did we make the right decision? Why do I feel so worried?� Renee paced back and forth in the corridor, nibbling her lip anxiously.

�Stop overthinking; trust the doctor�s skills and Quinton�s luck. Even if you don�t, you should trust Xavier�s character. He recommended the doctor to us, so I�m sure everything will be fine,� Leia said comfortingly as she rested her hand on Renee�s shoulder. Although Xavier was a scumbag in love affairs, he was a loyal friend. Leia trusted that nothing would go wrong given that he was the one who recommended the plastic surgeon. Half an hour passed by, and Renee gradually relaxed. �Maybe I worried too much. Haze is right-it�s just a small surgery. It�ll be okay.�

Another hour passed by, and the surgery was coming to its end.

�I can�t wait to see if he�s as handsome as he was before,� Renee said eagerly.

�He should have had this surgery ages ago� Maybe he would�ve gone back to his old self, and he wouldn�t have had to suffer for so many years.�

�The surgery is easy, but it�s hard to get a good doctor. If everything goes well, I�ll curse Xavier less,� Leia scoffed, narrowing her eyes. They�d started ignoring each other after they parted on bad terms yesterday, but she couldn�t stop herself from constantly glancing at her phone. Unfortunately, there were no calls or texts from him. �Ugh, that wretched man! Mark my words, Xavier, I�ll never stop cursing you!�

Renee turned to Leia, sensing that her friend was upset about something. JrNovels.com
